Now, I can understand how pointless it would be to sit through Catholic Mass, if you aren't Catholic, and never learned any Latin (or Spanish, in my case). But, I'm sort of wonder the wisdom of Trump skipping all of them. You'd at least think he'd would make an appearance, whether or not he speaks or not. He should be learning some of that 'stuff', as it will likely get brought up during the 2020 campaign. Every vote still counts, and although most true believers, tend to be democrat/socialist, he should still be prepared. Trump isn't spineless, like Obama, and going to get wrangled into another 'Paris' deal. Who knows, maybe if he asked the right questions, he could get a few of the other world leaders to skip the next one. Nice game of golf, or something fun. Just showing up for the meetings, along with the other leaders, shows respect, and earns the same. It shows that his opposition is genuine and informed, not out of any ignorance on the topic. It's more of a political issue, which he needs to take some sort of action on, take a firm position. Simply dismissing it as nonsense, isn't quite good enough. The news story I heard about his UN plans, also said he would be attending a Christian persecution meeting instead. Wonder how that will go over with the democrats, he's suppose to remain neutral on religion, and pick on over the other is unconstitutional. Should have excused himself, from both. Suppose his choice was more like choosing between Christianity, and Satanism... Maybe the democrats are all focused on UkraineGate. Which, would be the end of the Biden campaign, not to mention, quite a few other democrat careers. Should be interesting how that one goes. |

Economy is good under Trump. Unless Florida goes under water, Trump gets second term guaranteed. Not that it's a good thing for the word considering he's a warhawk. |

Harvey, I have to mention how pointless it is for Catholics to sit through a Catholic mass. At what point does one scream out, begging to be totured on the rack for relief! Let's walk through it ... stand, sit, stand, sit, kneel, sit, kneel, stand, kneel, sit, stand, kneel, aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh, STOP! I'll opt to be water-boarded over the baptismal font! ... anything! Please!!! Oh, ... I'm sorry, I'm digressing, aren't I? Nevermind. HarveyH55 wrote: But, I'm sort of wonder the wisdom of Trump skipping all of them. The Catholic masses? Oh, you mean the pointless "Climate"meetings that accomplish nothing except wasting valuable time. Personally I appreciate Trump highlighting the sheer stupidity of "Climate" meetings and not lending creedence to those time wasters. Yes, I find it wise and I support Trump not attending a single one. Now, if he wants to subject himself to a Catholic mass, fine, that's on him. HarveyH55 wrote: He should be learning some of that 'stuff', as it will likely get brought up during the 2020 campaign. Harvey, what makes you think he doesn't already know all of that "stuff"? What do you imagine that Trump needs to know that he doesn't know already? HarveyH55 wrote: Just showing up for the meetings, along with the other leaders, shows respect, and earns the same. Just showing up lends creedence to the meeting and generates unwanted pressure to acquiesce to bogus crap. Not attending, however, breaks the stigma of not blindly going along with other world leaders' coercion. It emboldens other countries to stop wasting their time as well. Not attending is absolutely the right thing to do. HarveyH55 wrote: It shows that his opposition is genuine and informed, That's not the issue. Attendance is for those who believe in it. If you don't believe in a particular religion then you should not attend those services. HarveyH55 wrote: The news story I heard about his UN plans, also said he would be attending a Christian persecution meeting instead. Wonder how that will go over with the democrats, he's suppose to remain neutral on religion, and pick on over the other is unconstitutional. The problem here is just your wording. Trump opposes religious persecution, which happens, in this case, to be broad Muslim persecution of Christians. I believe Trump would attend that same event if it were addressing broad Christian persecution of Muslims. In any event, the topic is religious persecution. . I don't think i can [define it].

Isn't climate change a religion? They speak their own language, pickup new phrases all the time. I chose the Catholic story, since I'd imagine sitting through a climate meeting about the same, not understanding the language. Women like to torture men with stuff like that... The believers are strong hope and faith. By showing up to a meeting or two, Trump would grab a little of that from them. They wouldn't be so quick to dismiss, or attack him, if there is some hope, that he'll turn, before we all burn... They wouldn't want to push him away, if they feel he might join the flock. The stuff he would actually learn from the other leaders, is whether or not they are actually true believers, caved under pressure, or just using it for political purposes. I doubt many of them actually buy the BS, but feel a need to put on a show. Some of the rely on popularity, in order to remain employed. They all get the same report from the IPCC, it's really more about how each country interprets the cryptic scripture. Avoiding the subject, doesn't show that he actually understands that it's BS, just that he isn't impressed, and doesn't care. Unfortunately, there are sufficient believers to sway the vote in some countries, probably not ours though. Part of Hilary losing, is some of her supporters didn't figure their votes were going to matter, she had all she needed. It was her fault, and false claims, that convince them she had it nail down. Trump already has it won, but he still needs people to vote. I don't know which the DNC will pick, pretty sure Biden won't make it. Warren is getting tired, and still a long way to go, do think she'll make it either. The rest are pretty damn weak. Bernie is a born loser... |

WWIII? That takes an act of provocation. Some might not be thrilled with Trump, but they know he's right. Many of the spineless presidents of the past, agreed to most anything, just to get their name on a paper, and call it an achievement. Most ever country were more than happy to take our money, and give little, if anything in return. Yeah, maybe a few might be a little upset, the cash cow ain't producing as before, but they have plenty to last a while, least another 4 years of Trump. North Korea wasn't even talking to the US, until Trump, except to make threats. They most definitely eased up on the missile launches, fewer, and shorter range. You can't expect a boy, to give up his toys... They likely already have functional nuclear missiles, the delivery system isn't as reliable as they'd like see. Most of their missile tests, actually make it off the launch pad these days though, least the shorter range ones. Pretty sure they will eventually make an agreement with Trump, the sanctions are brutal, but they don't want to admit it, or appear weak. I wouldn't doubt Iran will tone things down soon as well. They are acting out in desperation, frustration. There are pretty well crippled by sanctions, and they won't be lifted, until they behave. Obama gave them a taste of relief, and a plane load of cash (idiot). Iranian elections are usually conducted at the end of a proverbial sword. Either the current leader caves a little, or the newly elected leader will be more interested in talking. Lot of people over there interested in a little relief from the sanctions, and the better life they had briefly a couple years ago. China will sign a trade agreement soon. Think a lot of people are making good money off the markets, a lot of movement, lots of clean, predictable, highs and lows. China knows it needs US materials, an US consumers, more than we need their cheap crap, and will eventual sign the paper. They won't actually honor the agreement though, and will test the limits for a while, and settle into some clever ways to get around it, push the limits just as far as they can get away with. It will still be a better deal, than what we currently have. I really don't think Trump wants war, just business. He offers plenty of peaceful opportunities to resolve issues, force has so far been the last resort, and we were already there, just sent more troops and equipment, and got the job done, which Obama botched. Not sure what the Taliban deal was all about, nothing good could have come from it. Their religion has been around a long time, it's non-negotiable. |

I missed Bert the Turtle with "Duck and Cover" by just a couple years. The school district had stopped the drills on account of kids coming home scared, and the bombers hadn't popped up on the DEW line yet. They went on to tunnel Cheyenne Mountain anyway, and the computers underground kept announcing alerts all the way up to Archer Able in 1983. I give Trump credit for standing up to do-nothing politicians about the fact we must regulate our border. While I hate the "migrant cages" used, Trump really has no choice—law doesn't permit USCBP to put migrants on planes home the same day as I would, if they arrive without a visa. Puebla sin Fronteras and other outfits went to El Salvador to coach people on how to form caravans, bring their children along and claim asylum, torqueing a process meant for war zones under the UN Convention on Refugees. And I don't like the way the left bashes him on race and gender nonstop. But he's a loudmouthed buffoon. No experience overseas at all. I never imagined we'd have a president addicted to Twitter.

I heard a few clips from the UN meetings. The climate change thing was more like a soap opera. Still don't understand how a child rates floor time. Pretty sure that act is going to get old quick, spoiled rotten, little too much drama. Got the impression that many of those countries think America should be picking up the tab, for the planet saving efforts. Maybe they'll think about it a little more seriously, if they have to pay their own bills. |

Why hit us up for money, we are $22 trillion in debt, mostly from the last president. Trump doesn't seem like the kind of guy to borrow money, just to give away. Maybe when AOC gets elected... Can't believe the desperation of the democrats... Heard some strong words about impeachment. Yet, they haven't even seen the whistle-blower complaint (officially). No one, has come forward, who actually was listening in, either. The story, seem the unknown But, whistle-blower, heard about the phone call, from somebody else. But how would anyone know, since none of it as actually been sent to congress, who are threaten subpoenas to get that information. I know that Capital Hill has some plumbing problems, and hopefully Trump does something about it. Is nothing kept confidential anymore? There really needs to be some investigations, it's national security. |

An interesting video clip (22 seconds), of Trump, almost meeting Greta. Sort of looks like they where going to ambush him, as he arrived. Her glare is pure evil, almost see daggers shooting out. The comments and the delusional interpretations are amusing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRSuZM2Znpg Then, there was the climatology spin... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4hXzw2OnnE If you watched the first clip, you'd know there was only a split second chance Trump might have caught sight of her, before the reporters swarmed. There really was much of a chance he even saw her, yet the lefties, had a lot to say about how badly Trump did... Great example of fake news. I just downloaded the Ukraine Call transcript, and it's exactly how Trump described it. They really didn't talk money at all, they did sort of, but it was mostly about how their EU partners are doing much to help, and how great America is for all they've been doing for the Ukraine. No pressure, no reluctance to look into the Biden thing, a shared interest in uncovering corruption. Really interested in seeing the complaint. Got a hunch that won't be public though, and the democrats will fight releasing it. There is nothing in the call to get upset over, certainly not grounds for impeachment. I think this one is going to turn out really bad for the democrats, maybe lose the House on this one, and no hope with the senate. Of course, democrats have no sense of shame, and will just shrug it off. There might be enough voters, who might not care to admit their affiliation for a while though... |

Trump then holds back $250 million in security assistance for Ukraine and calls up their president saying: "the United States has been very very good to Ukraine. I wouldn't say that it's reciprocal" and asks him a favor, to get dirt on Biden. He's just incredibly stupid! It's truly amazing.

tmiddles wrote: It was, but it wasn't the first time a candidate's sought campaign info from abroad. "Collusion" is the wrong word for what Trump did anyway. He doesn't love Putin; he loves the money Russian bankers close to Putin have. When the Natalia news broke, I never believed the Trumps or Jared Kushner or Paul Manafort had ever helped Russian intel (Guccifer 2.0, Fancy Bear, etc.) break into Podesta's emails or hack voter registration systems; they didn't know about it since the Russians wouldn't have told a wannabe prez any of their state secrets. But I'm sure Trump was willing to pay. If Natalia delivered, which we're told she failed to do. Meanwhile, the lady's wanted by the FBI and eight of Trump's former campaign or White House staffers are now convicts, some in prison. That beats Nixon's gang hands down. It's kind of sad, as I actually agree with Trump on the need to stop illegal immigration and stand up to China. Trump's running the Oval Office the way he ran his campaign, with a loud mouth creating unnecessary resentments and friction left and right. And nobody can guess what he's gonna do 20 minutes from now. Meeting with Taliban; nope, cancelled; talks with North Korea; nope, cancelled; deal with China; nope.... The next prez will inherit the fallout. ~ Never try to solve an NP-complete problem on your own with pencil & paper. |

Incredibly this was done in broad daylight and can't be called a conspiracy. You could simply call it cooperation. There is no evidence there was any coordination with Trump on the Russian illegal activity in the 2016 election, thank god. We have an investigation to thank for clearing that up. As for his conduct he's just an F'ing moron and a psychopath. He only cares about himself and would destroy this country in a heart beat if he stood to benefit. We knew that from the moment he said he wouldn't accept the election results if he lost. He is scum. And to be candid I don't agree illegal immigration is a major problem at all.

tmiddles wrote: And to be candid I don't agree illegal immigration is a major problem at all. I also don't think terrorism is a major problem. They are both close to trivial as threats. Really? Take the blinders off. Even the House democrats agreed last spring, that there was an illegal immigration problem. Mexico has never denied the problem, just really didn't care, less people staying in their country, and it tends to bring in some cash. Most of those illegal immigrants are from other countries anyway, just passing through Mexico. It's not a few individuals, it's been a pretty steady 50,000-100,000, per month. That's just the ones getting caught. The ones that make it, use the free services, we pay taxes to provide for the poor and the homeless, but they never pay taxes. Another drain on our economy, is that they send a good portion of their wages to family and relatives, outside the country, some make the same trip, to illegally come here as well. Many pay thousands of dollars, to be smuggled over the border, a criminal act, call human trafficking. Not all of them survive, semi-trailer packed full, sometimes breakdown and are abandoned by the driver, sometimes leaving their cargo locked in, to bake. Maybe you don't think these things are problems, but you aren't looking at them either. It may not be a problem, that effects you personally, doesn't mean it's not a problem. |

The 'short list', would be large companies that never filed for bankruptcy. It's not always about being crushed by debt. Often, it's restructuring the company, and repayment of debt. The money owed, is still repaid, in full, just the terms of the loan are changed. There are a lot of different types of bankruptcy, most of which only apply to businesses. Most don't forgive, or reduce debt. I think there is only one, that individuals can use to eliminate all debt, and that involves selling off most all their property and assets, dividing the proceeds among creditors, seldom goes to that extreme though. Lot of people use the laws to increase profits, reduce expense. The tax code gets played the same way. Most laws are based on people having the morals and ethics, not to abuse their protections and options, a weakness often exploited. Releasing tax records are only a voluntary tradition, it's not the law. Most individuals don't share that information, it's person, private. It's not because they did anything wrong, or have anything to hide. Trump knows that every line on his forms, would be made public, and careful parsed a checked, for anything that could be politically misrepresented. Though there is nothing illegal, there is probably a ton of ethical questions, a goldmine there. I'm fairly certain that proper use of the tax code, can really save a rich guy, a whole lot of money. That's a secret worth keeping, and a lot of people use those same secrets. I'm highly doubtful there is anything illegal in Trump's taxes, or financials. He's been under the microscope for a long time, even before politics. |
